Overview

Check the status of an asynchronous transcription job (Elevenlabs-STT). Poll this endpoint to get transcription results when the job is completed.

​
Usage

This endpoint is used with the Elevenlabs-STT model which processes transcriptions asynchronously. After submitting a transcription job, you’ll receive a runId that you use to check the status. 
import requests
import time

def check_transcription_status(run_id, job_data):
    headers = {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    
    status_data = {
        "runId": run_id,
        "cost": job_data.get('cost'),
        "paymentSource": job_data.get('paymentSource'),
        "isApiRequest": True,
        "fileName": job_data.get('fileName'),
        "fileSize": job_data.get('fileSize'),
        "chargedDuration": job_data.get('chargedDuration'),
        "diarize": job_data.get('diarize', False)
    }
    
    response = requests.post(
        "https://nano-gpt.com/api/transcribe/status",
        headers=headers,
        json=status_data
    )
    
    return response.json()

def wait_for_completion(run_id, job_data, max_attempts=60):
    for attempt in range(max_attempts):
        result = check_transcription_status(run_id, job_data)
        status = result.get('status')
        
        if status == 'completed':
            return result
        elif status == 'failed':
            raise Exception(f"Transcription failed: {result.get('error')}")
        
        print(f"Status: {status} (attempt {attempt + 1}/{max_attempts})")
        time.sleep(5)
    
    raise Exception("Transcription timed out")

# Usage
job_data = {"runId": "abc123", "cost": 0.075, "paymentSource": "USD"}
result = wait_for_completion("abc123", job_data)
print(result['transcription'])

​
Status Values

  • pending: Job is queued for processing
